A neologism my mother taught me as I was first learning to talk (and eat) was 'clurt'

If you are eating something that is drippy like yogurt or soup you need to clurt your spoon before you put it in your mouth. Grew up saying this and was always confused when people didn't understand what I was talking about

I didn't realize this is a midwestern thing. Grew up with this term in Wisconsin

what a sweetly heartwarming story.

I agree that 'link aggregator' is a horrible term that is only relevant to nerds and shouldn't be used in any general user facing way as a description. I think this is the sort of thing that is really a collective failure of the fediverse and open source / free culture projects in general is how out of reach all of our lingo is to anyone not already in the in-group.

I don’t know if anyone here realized this but the font in question here is made by Fredrick Brennan who is probably best known as the founder of 8chan
